A Positive Space for Positive Thinking!

Help me give my students and teachers a space that encourages a positive attitude with the right decor and seating!

My Project

My students and I love positive vibes; who doesn’t? They love when the room is calm and inviting. This calmness sets the tone for the entire day.

I want to create a space that will promote positive thinking!

For this project “A Positive Space for Positive Thinking”, I am creating an atmosphere that promotes positive thinking. When students and teachers have a positive attitude, their day can be less bumpy. I am requesting light covers to help relieve eye strain and help students focus. Also, relaxing seating adds comfort. The window coverings and lights will provide a relaxing space with fewer glares. This space will be utilized throughout the day. The peak times for the space will be early morning and mid-day. During these times students will be able to sit in the quietness of the space using noise-canceling headphones and listening to quiet music. The other decorative items will help set the mood of the space. With this positive space, I am hoping for positive thinking throughout the day for better production.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
